Hey there!
I am so excited to be able to your school photographer!
I’m Charis – a local family and newborn lifestyle photographer. I have been serving families through photography for 5 years but also bring my experience as a mom of 3 and a previous nany for many years to working with children.
I use a documentary approach for both family and newborn sessions. I take that relaxed approach into my school portraits.
School portraits are a way to remember your children’s year at school as well as give back to your school! 20% of all purchases will be given back to the school. Read below for a few tips to make the experience better for your kids and their school.
As the parent you will receive an online gallery with your child’s images within 3 weeks after their school photo day.
I offer two types of school portraits – your school will choose whether they want to do outdoor ones or do a more in studio feel.
My Top Tips
Prep your children that they will be getting their photos taken! For many children a surprise happening can be unsettling so preparing your children the morning of sets them up for success.
- getting a good night’s sleep the night before also can help their personalities shine better!
- don’t get your child’s hair cut the few days before the session
- if your child wears glasses make sure to clean them before they come to school
What To Wear
These pictures are about letting their personalities shine so if possible avoid things with large logos, neon colors or tiny small checked prints for them.
